A human-oriented approach to transactions in Mergers and Acquisitions
About 70-90% of deals fail to meet their objectives, and culture discrepancies are one of the main causes (HBR). At Nordic, we place people at the center of M&A, ensuring smooth integration and meeting expectations on both sides of the deal.
Main Specialisations
Deal Origination & Target Screening
We identify, assess, and approach only high-fit candidates that match your identity and growth plan. Our proprietary software, non-public data, and corporate network will provide you with hidden market opportunities.
Operational & Commercial Due Diligence
Beyond the numbers, we assess the unwritten cultural norms that make-or-break assumed synergies. We measure intrinsic operational capacities and limitations of channel partners: change readiness and institutional inertia.
Post-Merger Integration
We identify growth obstacles and align operating models with decision processes and incentives. From governance to execution, we drive numbers and culture towards the same direction, ensuring that synergy targets are met.
Our Approach
With decades of expertise in operational implementation, international market expansion, and corporate relations, our methods go beyond classic due diligence; our hands-on approach makes us your operating partner for cross-border acquisitions. From design to execution, we connect the commercial engine (sales channels, product mix, client acquisition and retention) with the human side (talent, values, commitment). Growth plans fail without an objective and critical assessment of sales channel partners and end-customers.
“Numbers set the boundaries, but cultural fit and operational execution dictate the outcomes.”
